My six specialties include adolescent and adult substance abuse, anger management, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and stress management. Additionally, I provide therapy for all of the issues, stated in this profile. Furthermore, I provide individual, couples counseling, and family therapy, I am very aware that making the decision to get counseling, can be a very anxiety provoking situation. Can I expect confidentiality? What is the therapy experience like? Actually, taking the step to get counseling is a huge strength!
